Model editing / effect editing is not the same as texture editing.
never tried to fiddle with either, because that requires a detectable 3rd party program.

One of those cloth outfits that would look soo much better w/o mandatory shoulderpads.
Yeah, then blizzard thought it would be good to have a software that checks file integrity on login :P
Tho, no fighter wants a pair of shoulderplates anyway, the pauldrons are in the chestplate.
But thank god blizzard doesn't follow realism with the armor, the sets would be so boring without actual shoulders plates and helmets without anything besides small ornaments.
Not sure if it's been mentioned, but Rift has exactly what you're talking about; two separate equipment screens, one for stats and one for visuals. You can disable any of the armour pieces in the Visuals equip (In case you want to use your Stats armour's appearance), and also Enable that particular piece with nothing equipped, causing your character's visual model to forego that piece of armour. Probably worded that horribly, but essentially you can use whatever visuals you want. Not actually that many naked people running around, either. I think even in games like this, the psychology of social acceptance has its influence.
Hate when polls have obvious biased answers in them...
I wouldn't mind seeing options to turn off individual shoulders and gloves / boots. Doesn't really hurt the aesthetic of the game in the ways dyes could (man I'd love dyes) and just gives you a bit more options. Sure why not.
Yup, there are many games that do things better, or more generously than WoW does; WoW is an overall better game though. Blizzard should take that cue and give a little on their staunch standpoints. People that don't care to mess around with cosmetic stuff will not. I really doubt it would pull much resource away from any major content either, as they bandy that around at convenience.
because of some sets in game, i wouldn't mind toggling shoulders.
I like the idea of being able to hide one shoulder pad. Hiding both would make some sets look slightly odd, or maybe bland.

The Black Empire once ruled this pitiful world, and it will do so again! Your pitiful kind will know only despair and sorrow for a hundred thousand millennia to come!

I want a option that you can have 1 shoulder pad instead of 2 shoulder pads, like some npcs have!
